Pastor and Mrs. John Wilkerson hosted the 5th Annual Midwest Pastors’ & Wives’ Couples’ Retreat on Thursday and Friday, January 31 and February 1. What a sweet and tender time of fellowship, food, and fun these couples enjoyed! There were combined sessions where the couples shared challenges, prayer requests, and ministry experiences with each other. Pastor John Roloson of Moorhead Baptist Church in Moorhead, Minnesota, spoke on “Ministry and Family Dynamics” in one of the combined sessions on Thursday evening. There were also split sessions where the men met with Pastor Wilkerson and the ladies met with Mrs. Wilkerson. These were powerful and yet delicate sessions aimed at encouraging and enlightening those in attendance. Several books and other resources were given to each couple, much of which was paid for by the generous members of the First Baptist Church of Hammond! Pastor and Mrs. Wilkerson were honored to host these wonderful servants of Christ, and it is our prayer that they were encouraged and refreshed during this short getaway planned just for them!
